Summery:
If using a command with [distance=..1.5] for example it will not detect some the entity even if you standing in its hitbox. (see images and/or video)
It's detecting only if the player/command is <1.5blocks from the bottom of the entity you try to detect.
Expected:
I expect it to be even detecting the entity across its whole hitbot.
Steps/commands to recreate:
spawn a Endermann wich no AI: /summon enderman ~ ~ ~ {NoAI:1b}
stand next to it at the bottom and use: /execute if entity @e[type=minecraft:enderman,distance=..1.5,sort=nearest,limit=1] run say test
Fly up to its head and run the command again.
Note:
Having it across the whole hitbox commands like with [distance=]in it, would be more accurate.
I personal use a raycast system which should detect a mob if it's get hit by the raycast, but facing the raycast at the eyes of the mob it will not detect some entity if they're to tall. I could fix this by increasing the distance inside the command but then it will hit something else in some situations.
Having the detection-zone across the whole hitbox, I could lower the the distance and it will be more accurate using such commands.
I couldn't find an existing bug report for that, if there is already one I missed, I'm sorry.

Actually, duplicate of MC-172035, took a while to find it.
Hmm, I see.
With a selector, like what the comment under the MC-172035 post said or in that way would be really nice.
I didn't see it completely as a bug nor as a feature request ether, it can be worked around as I said but with flaws.
this is why I posted it here. In the example with the endermann it looked more like a bug.
I can let my raycast shoot at the feet but that looks wired but the way I do it now, or increase the distance to still "see" the mob while ironically passing through its hitbox.
Maybe there is a possibility that this will get "fixed" or implemented in the future.
Thank you for your report!

Distance (r/rm in the past) has always been the exact distance to the entity position; entity positions have always been at the bottom center of the hitbox. This is a chanve request, not a bug.
Additionally, during/before 1.13 development, feedback regarding commands was collected. One of the things they considered was making distance and dx/dy/dz select based on the sane criterion (hitbox or entity position); it wasn't changed.
I personally wouls like to see it changed so you can control which one is used, kinda like sort=, like hitbox=true/false, but that's a feature request.
